Ncomms1239.Pdf ARTICLE Received 10 Nov 2010 | Accepted 15 Feb 2011 | Published 15 Mar 2011 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms1239 Inflammation driven by tumour-specific Th1 cells protects against B-cell cancer Ole Audun Werner Haabeth1, Kristina Berg Lorvik1, Clara Hammarström2, Ian M. Donaldson3,4, Guttorm Haraldsen2, Bjarne Bogen1 & Alexandre Corthay1 The immune system can both promote and suppress cancer. Chronic inflammation and proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-6 are considered to be tumour promoting. In contrast, the exact nature of protective antitumour immunity remains obscure. Here, we quantify locally secreted cytokines during primary immune responses against myeloma and B-cell lymphoma in mice. Strikingly, successful cancer immunosurveillance mediated by tumour-specific CD4 + T cells is consistently associated with elevated local levels of both proinflammatory (IL-1α, IL-1β and IL-6) and T helper 1 (Th1)-associated cytokines (interferon-γ (IFN-γ), IL-2 and IL-12). Cancer eradication is achieved by a collaboration between tumour- specific Th1 cells and tumour-infiltrating, antigen-presenting macrophages. Th1 cells induce secretion of IL-1β and IL-6 by macrophages. Th1-derived IFN-γ is shown to render macrophages directly cytotoxic to cancer cells, and to induce macrophages to secrete the angiostatic chemokines CXCL9/MIG and CXCL10/IP-10. Thus, inflammation, when driven by tumour- specific Th1 cells, may prevent rather than promote cancer. 1 Centre for Immune Regulation, Institute of Immunology, University of Oslo and Oslo University Hospital Rikshospitalet, PO Box 4950 Nydalen, 0424 Oslo, Norway. 2 Department of Pathology, Institute of Pathology, Oslo University Hospital Rikshospitalet and University of Oslo, PO Box 4950 Nydalen, 0424 Oslo, Norway. 3 The Biotechnology Centre of Oslo, University of Oslo, PO Box 1125 Blindern, 0317 Oslo, Norway. 4 Department of Molecular Biosciences, University of Oslo, PO Box 1041 Blindern, 0316 Oslo, Norway.

However, the mechanisms by which MuV infection damages male germ cells remain unclear. The present study showed that C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10) is produced by mouse Sertoli cells in response to MuV infection, which induces germ cell apoptosis through the activation of caspase-3. CXC chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3), a functional receptor of CXCL10, is constitutively expressed in male germ cells. Neutralizing antibodies against CXCR3 and an inhibitor of caspase-3 activation significantly inhibited CXCL10-induced male germ cell apoptosis. Furthermore, the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) upregulated CXCL10 production in Sertoli cells after MuV infection. The knockout of either CXCL10 or TNF-α reduced germ cell apoptosis in the co-cultures of germ cells and Sertoli cells in response to MuV infection. Local injection of MuV into the testes of mice confirmed the involvement of CXCL10 in germ cell apoptosis in vivo. These results provide novel insights into MuV-induced germ cell apoptosis in the testis.

Donnelly, Airway Disease, National Heart and Lung Institute, Dovehouse Street, London, SW3 6LY, UK. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients exhibit chronic inflammation, both in the lung parenchyma and the airways, which is characterised by an increased infiltration of macrophages and T-lymphocytes, particularly CD8+ cells. Both cell types can express chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor (CXCR)3 and C-C chemokine receptor 5 and the relevant chemokines for these receptors are elevated in COPD. The aim of this study was to compare chemotactic responses of lymphocytes and monocytes of nonsmokers, smokers and COPD patients towards CXCR3 ligands and chemokine (C-C motif) ligand (CCL)5. Migration of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, monocytes and lymphocytes from nonsmokers, smokers and COPD patients toward CXCR3 chemokines and CCL5 was analysed using chemotaxis assays. There was increased migration of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from COPD patients towards all chemokines studied when compared with nonsmokers and smokers. Both lymphocytes and monocytes contributed to this enhanced response, which was not explained by increased receptor expression.

  • The CXCL7/CXCR1/2 Axis Is a Key Driver in the Growth of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
    Published OnlineFirst December 12, 2013; DOI: 10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-13-1267 Cancer Therapeutics, Targets, and Chemical Biology Research The CXCL7/CXCR1/2 Axis Is a Key Driver in the Growth of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Renaud Grepin 5,Melanie Guyot1, Sandy Giuliano1, Marina Boncompagni1, Damien Ambrosetti1,2, Emmanuel Chamorey3, Jean-Yves Scoazec4, Sylvie Negrier4,Hel ene Simonnet4, and Gilles Pages 1 Abstract Mutations in the von Hippel–Lindau gene upregulate expression of the central angiogenic factor VEGF, which drives abnormal angiogenesis in clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCC). However, the overexpression of VEGF in these tumors was not found to correlate with overall survival. Here, we show that the proangiogenic, proin- flammatory cytokine CXCL7 is an independent prognostic factor for overall survival in this setting. CXCL7 antibodies strongly reduced the growth of ccRCC tumors in nude mice. Conversely, conditional overexpression of CXCL7 accelerated ccRCC development. CXCL7 promoted cell proliferation in vivo and in vitro, in which expression of CXCL7 was induced by the central proinflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-1b. ccRCC cells normally secrete low amounts of CXCL7; it was more highly expressed in tumors due to high levels of IL-1b there. We found that a pharmacological inhibitor of the CXCL7 receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2 (SB225002) was sufficient to inhibit endothelial cell proliferation and ccRCC growth. Because CXCR1 and CXCR2 are present on both endothelial and ccRCC cells, their inhibition affected both the tumor vasculature and the proliferation of tumor cells. Our results highlight the CXCL7/CXCR1/CXCR2 axis as a pertinent target for the treatment of ccRCC.

  • Critical Role of CXCL4 in the Lung Pathogenesis of Influenza (H1N1) Respiratory Infection
    ARTICLES Critical role of CXCL4 in the lung pathogenesis of influenza (H1N1) respiratory infection L Guo1,3, K Feng1,3, YC Wang1,3, JJ Mei1,2, RT Ning1, HW Zheng1, JJ Wang1, GS Worthen2, X Wang1, J Song1,QHLi1 and LD Liu1 Annual epidemics and unexpected pandemics of influenza are threats to human health. Lung immune and inflammatory responses, such as those induced by respiratory infection influenza virus, determine the outcome of pulmonary pathogenesis. Platelet-derived chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 4 (CXCL4) has an immunoregulatory role in inflammatory diseases. Here we show that CXCL4 is associated with pulmonary influenza infection and has a critical role in protecting mice from fatal H1N1 virus respiratory infection. CXCL4 knockout resulted in diminished viral clearance from the lung and decreased lung inflammation during early infection but more severe lung pathology relative to wild-type mice during late infection. Additionally, CXCL4 deficiency decreased leukocyte accumulation in the infected lung with markedly decreased neutrophil infiltration into the lung during early infection and extensive leukocyte, especially lymphocyte accumulation at the late infection stage. Loss of CXCL4 did not affect the activation of adaptive immune T and B lymphocytes during the late stage of lung infection. Further study revealed that CXCL4 deficiency inhibited neutrophil recruitment to the infected mouse lung. Thus the above results identify CXCL4 as a vital immunoregulatory chemokine essential for protecting mice against influenza A virus infection, especially as it affects the development of lung injury and neutrophil mobilization to the inflamed lung. INTRODUCTION necrosis factor (TNF)-a, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-1b, to exert Influenza A virus (IAV) infections cause respiratory diseases in further antiviral innate immune effects.2 Meanwhile, the innate large populations worldwide every year and result in seasonal immune cells act as antigen-presenting cells and release influenza epidemics and unexpected pandemic.

    The Journal of Immunology CCR1 and CC Chemokine Ligand 5 Interactions Exacerbate Innate Immune Responses during Sepsis1 Traci L. Ness,* Kristin J. Carpenter,* Jillian L. Ewing,* Craig J. Gerard,† Cory M. Hogaboam,2* and Steven L. Kunkel* CCR1 has previously been shown to play important roles in leukocyte trafficking, pathogen clearance, and the type 1/type 2 cytokine balance, although very little is known about its role in the host response during sepsis. In a cecal ligation and puncture model of septic peritonitis, CCR1-deficient (CCR1؊/؊) mice were significantly protected from the lethal effects of sepsis when compared with wild-type (WT) controls. The peritoneal and systemic cytokine profile in CCR1؊/؊ mice was characterized by a robust, but short-lived and regulated antibacterial response. CCR1 expression was not required for leu- -kocyte recruitment, suggesting critical differences extant in the activation of WT and CCR1؊/؊ resident or recruited peri toneal cells during sepsis. Peritoneal macrophages isolated from naive CCR1؊/؊ mice clearly demonstrated enhanced cytokine/chemokine generation and antibacterial responses compared with similarly treated WT macrophages. CCR1 and CCL5 interactions markedly altered the inflammatory response in vivo and in vitro. Administration of CCL5 increased sepsis-induced lethality in WT mice, whereas neutralization of CCL5 improved survival. CCL5 acted in a CCR1-dependent manner to augment production of IFN-␥ and MIP-2 to damaging levels. These data illustrate that the interaction between CCR1 and CCL5 modulates the innate immune response during sepsis, and both represent potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

Read Full License Page 1/29 Abstract Background: Bladder cancer (BLCA) has a high rate of morbidity and mortality, and is considered as one of the most malignant tumors of the urinary system. Tumor cells interact with surrounding interstitial cells, playing a key role in carcinogenesis and progression, which is partly mediated by chemokines. CXC chemokines exert anti‐tumor biological roles in the tumor microenvironment and affect patient prognosis. Nevertheless, their expression and prognostic values patients with BLCA remain unclear. Methods: We used online tools, including Oncomine, UALCAN, GEPIA, GEO databases, cBioPortal, GeneMANIA, DAVID 6.8, Metascape, TRUST (version 2.0), LinkedOmics, TCGA, and TIMER2.0 to perform the relevant analysis. Results: The mRNA levels of C-X-C motif chemokine ligand (CXCL)1, CXCL5, CXCL6, CXCL7, CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11, CXCL13, CXCL16, and CXCL17 were increased signicantly increased, and those of CXCL2, CXCL3, and CXCL12 were decreased signicantly in BLCA tissues as assessed using the Oncomine, TCGA, and GEO databases.

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer (2019) 7:324 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40425-019-0757-z RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access IL-17 inhibits CXCL9/10-mediated recruitment of CD8+ cytotoxic T cells and regulatory T cells to colorectal tumors Ju Chen1†, Xiaoyang Ye1,2†, Elise Pitmon1, Mengqian Lu1,3, Jun Wan2,4, Evan R. Jellison1, Adam J. Adler1, Anthony T. Vella1 and Kepeng Wang1* Abstract Background: The IL-17 family cytokines are potent drivers of colorectal cancer (CRC) development. We and others have shown that IL-17 mainly signals to tumor cells to promote CRC, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. IL-17 also dampens Th1-armed anti-tumor immunity, in part by attracting myeloid cells to tumor. Whether IL-17 controls the activity of adaptive immune cells in a more direct manner, however, is unknown. Methods: Using mouse models of sporadic or inducible colorectal cancers, we ablated IL-17RA in the whole body or specifically in colorectal tumor cells. We also performed adoptive bone marrow reconstitution to knockout CXCR3 in hematopoietic cells. Histological and immunological experimental methods were used to reveal the link among IL-17, chemokine production, and CRC development. Results: Loss of IL-17 signaling in mouse CRC resulted in marked increase in the recruitment of CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and regulatory T cells (Tregs), starting from early stage CRC lesions. This is accompanied by the increased expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and TGF-β.

Currently, lack of accurate tools enabling Morphea disease activity assessment leads to suboptimal treatment approaches. Eosinophilic fasciitis Objective: To investigate serum concentrations of cytokines and chemokines implicated in inflammation and Shullman syndrome angiogenesis in LoS and explore their potential to be utilized as biomarker of disease activity. Additionally, to CCL18 investigate the implication of potential biomarkers in disease pathogenesis.
